Measurements of d-spacings from X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction confirmed that the intermetallic nanoparticles had the hexagonal Ag2Al structure. The morphology, crystal structure and chemical composition of Ag2Al nanoparticles were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and induction-coupled plasma spectroscopy. A thin amorphous coating was formed around the particles when exposed to air. Based on the XPS measurements, the surface coating of the Ag2Al nanoparticles could most likely be aluminum oxide or silver aluminum oxide. Therefore, the single-phase nanocrystalline Ag2Al intermetallic compound particles can be produced by adjusting some experimental parameters in FL method.展开更多

In the next step, the capability of the nanocomposites in H_2S removal compared to Mg–Al spinel(MgAl_2O_4), synthesized through ion-pair complex precursor route and alumina samples, prepared via sol–gel precipitation methods, was investigated. The results indicated that among the studied sorbents Mg–Al spinel presents a distinctly higher H_2S removal. In addition, the MgO/Al_2O_3 nanocomposites compared to the alumina sorbents, exhibited much better performance in H_2S removal. Also CO_2-TPD analysis reveals higher amounts of basic sites for Mg–Al spinel compared to 25 wt% MgO/75 wt% Al_2O_3 nanocomposite.展开更多
